LHS is still well stocked on current Revell kits. looks like they got another shipment in since I was there last a few weeks ago. picked up another FD-100 just to be safe.

The lightning kit is nice, but it needs to be corrected. The side trim needs to be removed.

Nice too see the 71 Duster and 55 Belair back. Both are due for reissues.

AMT Subaru Brat

It’s business as usual for Revell Germany, got a new newsletter from them in my email today. The updated MK1 VW GTi Pirelli looks good.

Curious too see if Revell still shows up at NNL east. They are listed as a vendor. If they do I hope we can get a lot of questions answered.

Hopefully this one sells well enough for the AMT snap 1\25 1978-1983 Toyota Pickup to get reissued.

I want to convert the recently reissued AMT Chevy Monza to a 75 Buick Skyhawk, the only real difference is the engine, would the Dauntless V6 in the recently reissued Jeep Commando be correct for this car?

No decals for the seats, it does have decals for pretty much everything else, including rear window defrosters

Woohoo another tractor. 1/24 Massey-Furgeson 2680,

Revell/Monogram 1/25 1967 GTX 1/25 2003 Cadillac Escalade 1/24 Baja Bandito 1/24 snap lightning McQueen, thats it, Hobbico in bankruptcy may have something to do with the small list. AMT 1/25 AMT 1957 Chrysler 300 1/25 AMT 1965 El Camino gear hustler 1/20 AMT (Lindberg) 1992 Toyota Pickup 4x4

just got an email from Revell Germany with the official list. only Auto related items are 1:16 Porsche 356 Cabriolet and Coupe 1:16 VW Beetle reissue 1:16 VW T1 Kastenwagen panel bus 1:25 2010 Mustang GT and GT500, 97 F150, Shelby Series 1, Viper GTS, all recent Revell USA stuff 1:24 VW MK1 GTi Pirelli. this one will get some new tooled parts like wheels and bumpers, and I believe it would have different tailights. no mention of the rumored Land Rover or Ford GT Race car, other then the Porsche and the Pirelli GTi nothing else interests me

no engine is no big deal for me. The Pentastar V6 is'nt much too look at anyway. looks like they spent the effort on the chassis and interior. Those roll bars look amazing. and the multi piece top is cool. would like to have seen the soft top and halfdoors. buts it no big deal. Tires leave some to be desired but I'll be using Fireball Modelworks tires that look 10X better. Hopefully the JK does well enough that they will do the JL as well.

considering that later 2018 release date, I'm thinking new tool. which would be awesome.

Picked this up yesterday, 2 hood options, FE3 with scoop or the flat 442 hood, the hood from the Hurst is not in the kit, three front clips, FE3, 442, or Hurst, two wheel options, FE3 wheels or the Rallye II wheels. Only issue I have is that they didn’t update the center console, it still uses the Hurst lightning rod shifter, but scratch building the regular console and shifter should be super easy.
